Despite net-zero commitments and public rhetoric, RBC continues to finance fossil fuel expansion, including bankrolling dangerous projects that attack Indigenous sovereignty, like the Coastal GasLink fracked gas pipeline without consent from Wet’suwet’en Hereditary leadership.

The new IPCC report recently released underscored that we cannot afford any fossil fuel expansion, and must divest from coal, oil and gas now. As reported in The Canadian Press, the Royal Bank of Canada financed over CAD $10.8 billion of companies involved in fossil fuel expansion 2022 alone, a 45% increase over 2021 levels. This directly contracts international climate agreements and RBC’s own public pledges.

Indigenous land defenders and climate allies will attend RBC’s AGM, followed by a press conference following the shareholder meeting.

Press Conference:

Wednesday, April 5, 2023

1:30 - 2:30pm CST / 3:30 - 4:30pm ET

Club Lounge (2nd floor), Delta Bessborough, 601 Spadina Crescent E, Saskatoon, SK

Images and video from the photo opportunity will be available to interested media who cannot attend. Livestream will be available for those who cannot attend.
